Sometimes, but in this case, what you are trying to do is before_count = User.send :count create_user response.should be_redirect User.send(:count).should == before_count + 1 that's some boilerplate that can be abstracted away... def change(target, method) before_count = target.send method yield target.send(method).should == before_count + 1 end (not exactly how it's implemented, but it should give you a rough idea of what's going on) Pat _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
